SOME of the papers are terribly exercised
lest the veterans should insult the Presi-

perjury to their other enormities.

Ex-senator Dorsey, of New Mexico, and
John W Bookwaltcr, OF Ohio, have both
recently made extensive trips in Europe
They were both seated opposite each other
in the Central Park casino the other day
where their comparisons Of notes about
impressions received in Europe developed
striking simlarites. They both regard
the educated Russian and educated
Hungarian rs the finest specimen Of the
white race on the globe. Mr.. BookvA ter
spoke Of the modern Greek lis the finest
gentleman that the world knows at the
present time. Mr.. Dorsey added his eX
prrience that the modern Greek is one IF
the great tinauCicrs Of the age, saying:
mo jew can exist in competition with the
modern Greek in any coi.munity where
the latter undertakes to manage the
financial affairs. fhc Greeks have
spread widely Over Russia. Both travel

Every thinker knows that the man who
would succeed must do more work than
he gets paid for, in every profession and
trade. We take it for granted that the
man who will do only SEQ worth of work
week because his salary is but $50 will
never get more than 500 week, for the
simple reason that he has never shown his
employer that he is worth more. We fig
urc it that an employe who means to sue
coed has to do from 10 to 20 per cent.
more work than he gets actual pay for.
This he has to do until he reaches n GER
tain point, and, having reached that
point, he will find that by rs much as his
income has increased by so much has the
demand for amount and intensity of his
labor diminished. To put this theory into
figures, we will say that man receiving
$50 n week should do $50 worth Of work;
man receiving $50 should do $40 worth
of work, and So on until, say, the salary
reaches $40, and then the laborer can give
himself somewhat of a rest, that is to say,
about $50 worth of work will satisfy his
employer. Labor brings its market value,
and is seldom overpaid, oftener under
paid 1t is the experience, the "know
how that brings The money Boston
